Physical Description
- Emma Strauss bears a significant hunch causing her to walk with a cane. It is unknown whether this was present before contracting.
- Her hair is short, messy and a nearly gray shade of brown.
- Her magical girl costume and usual attire is inspired by a Victorian era doctor, including her iconic top hat and round glasses.
- She was born with unusually sharp teeth.
- Strauss speaks with a distinct German accent.
Personality
- Strauss is openly sadistic and enjoys watching the effects of her drugs take hold of her test subjects.
- She will gladly work for anyone willing to fund her and allow her the freedom to experiment as she pleases.
- Strauss is shown to have some notion of how terrible her deeds are, however, she simply does not care.
- When dealing with a test subject, she frequently takes on the mannerisms of a doctor treating a child, praising them and offering encouragement.
Character History
The Thirteenth Officio
Much of Strauss' history with the Thirteenth is shrouded in mystery. All that is known for sure is that she was their first Warmaster and that she was demoted due to unethical experimentation. Therefore, it is clear that she was contracted prior to the Officio system coming into being, making her one of the oldest known magical girls.
A Spoonful of Sugar
Some time prior to Magical Girl Noir Quest, Strauss is seen living in a small one-story home in an undisclosed location. There she has taken to continuing her experiments on a stray magical girl by the name of Milica Djalic. She is known to still be peddling her wares to both the Tenth and Twentieth Officios.
Strauss is shown selling highly addictive combat stimulants to a one Ofelia Navidson. Navidson attempts to goad Strauss into joining the Church of the Blessed Lady, which Strauss staunchly refuses. The chapter ends with Strauss burning the brochure while musing about what sort of god would love someone like her.
Trivia
- Strauss takes inspiration from numerous sources including the Batman villain, Scarecrow and Doctor Strangelove.
- The name 'Strauss' is a pseudonym taken from her favourite composer, Johann Strauss II. Her real last name is unknown.
- Strauss owns a small Spitz named Fritz.
- She drives a hearse modified to carry a portable laboratory in place of a casket.
